Recognize this spacer?

[SinNH]

43mm long with a 22mm OD---light AL alloy I would guess-- looks almost new. Have not done any work on the L3430 except oil change in the last few months.
Was on wood detail yesterday for a couple hours, found this in the drive later on.
Any suggestions?

Might help if you added dimensions.

I have something like that to space the 3PH arms, at the lower pivot point, if I remember correctly, but can't imagine you losing one of those without a 3PH arm falling off.

Maybe if you give more details on the spacer, someone might be better able to help?

Just a thought...

well it ain't from my tractor, it's too dang CLEAN !!!
Maybe look for a 'twin' somewhere on your tractor ?
Anybody come by for a visit ? They might be playing a joke on you...?

It looks like a Cat 2 to Cat 1 three point hitch lower arm bushing. If you have a Cat 2 quick hitch (many are Cat 2) that requires bushings for Cat 1 implements you probably have an implement that lost its bushing. The dimensions on those bushings are 1.75” (44.45mm) long x 7/8” (22.23mm) OD.

Thanks guys,, still looking. I have Cat 1 hitch, with nothing attached since December. Didn't have any company, maybe from a small private plane that around quite a bit on good weather days. lol

IF it's a CAT bushing it's never been used. Hold a magnet to it, if aluminum..I doubt it'd be a CAT bushing.
Maybe it's from something else,some piece of equipment you had in the driveway ?
It's too clean to have ever been used...no marks, dirt, grease.....
Sure is a mystery, hope you figure it out and post WHAT is is !

Would it make sense that it's a crimp ferrule for cable or fencing?

quik conversion.... 22x43 = .866" x 1.70" imperial..
it's big, over 3/4" diameter x 1 3/4" long so probably not a 'crimp'.

I'm also thinking it's a category 1 to 2 spacer.

I don’t know about all implement manufacturers but I know all the 3 point implements I’ve bought since getting the L all have Cat 1 pins and come with Cat 2 spacers. My tractor has a Cat 1 hitch so I have a bin with the Cat 2 spacers that are all unused. I have no clue why I’ve saved them other than the general principle of “that looks like it might be useful someday”. If I ever get a Quick Hitch I’d be kicking myself if I tossed them and then needed to put spacers on all the implements. In reality, they’ll probably be just another thing in a big pile of random useless stuff my son has to deal with when I die.
